I perhaps posted this in the wrong place(music electronics),and realized it to late. So i thought I'd try here as well. I've gotten around to electronics in my upgrade of a Kramer Focus 111s. I'm doing a complete re-wire which will include 2 new single coils with differing tonal characteristics, and a stacked humbucker in the bridge position. I've had experience with Bill Lawrence pick-ups in the distant past ans back then anyway, I liked them. Does anybody have any more current experience with them ? I'd be very interested to know if so. also, any ideas on the re-wire. I,m using CTS pots and 5-way. I also intend to install a switchable B.L. Q-filter in the tone circuit. Any opinions here are also welcome. Thanks in advance to anyone who has the time to reply. tonequester.

Thanks for the thumbs up David. When I started seeking those pick-ups out I WAS unaware that there had been some conflict. I purely lucked out and clicked on
Wilde Pick-ups. so I'm hooked up with the real deal. I';m glad to know at least one other who thinks his work is good. most people I tell about Lawrence don't have a clue who he is/was.
I still can't believe how reasonably priced they are, compared with the big names. Thanks again for some validation. I can always use a little of that from time to time. Have a great day !
